It might be worth trying a different card, Geoff.

Well , I now give in trying to understand the inconsistencies of the bookmarks - they were there yesterday and , without connecting my Cybook to my PC , they are gone today .
And I can't remember the last time the " last " page read worked ..........

I really would suggest that you try using a different card, Geoff. I have zero problems with mine - either bookmarks or remembering the current location in a book.

Or try to read the book from the internal memory and see if that works.

Have you been setting the bookmark just before powering off the Cybook?

When I was having bookmark problems I was manually setting a bookmark, waiting for the bookmark to appear on the screen and then powering off. My theory is that although the bookmark appeared on the screen the system was still writing to the ".MBP" file and this process was interrupted by the power down process which kicks off another bookmark write to the same file and sometime corrupts it.

I stopped manually setting the bookmark and just trusted the auto bookmark and haven't had a problem in the last 3 months. I do still manually set bookmarks but not just before power off.

You can just delete the ".MBP" file and it will recreate it but you've lost any bookmarks. My experience is that once the ".MBP" file is corrupt you get bizarre things happening. Fonts changed, justification changed and bookmarks showed up and disappeared depending on where you were in the book.

My problems with bookmarking not working, not remembering the last page, and dictionary lookup hanging the Cybook all disappear when I switched over from a 2 gig SD (the original 2 gig SD from Bookeen was DOA) to a 256 mb SD card that I had from my old digital camera. I also always (i.e. most of the time) manually set the bookmark and return to library before I turn off my Cybook. I just drag and drop, and delete the ebook files via the USB cable using Windows. I hate to remove the SD card from the slot, not wanting to wear and tear the SD slot. In conclusion, I found changing over to a SD card that Cybook works well with solved all those problems I was having. This works well for me so far (keeping my fingers crossed).

Thanks for all the suggestions -
I'll finish my present book and then change the 2Gb card - which is the one that Bookeen included in the package .
